Activate Speak4me in your dashboard so You ID Me can speak for you if you can't. This tool uses Google's Text to Speech AI platform to read the information held in the medical conditions field of your profile and speak it out loud to a paramedic or other first responder. They'll continue to be able to read your text on their device's screen.
Note: we recommend testing Speak4me with the text you have in the medical conditions field of your profile to ensure you're happy with the results. AI reads word for word what you have in your medical conditions field so pay particular attention to the way it reads any unusual abbreviations, date formats, medication, names etc.
